WILLIAM H. DANIELS

 

Born: 1 December 1900, Cleveland, Ohio, USA.

Died: 14 June 1970, Los Angeles, Calif., USA.

Education: University of Southern California.

Career: 'I managed to land a job at the age of 15 with the Triangle Film Corporation/Kay-Bee; they needed an assistant cameraman, and of course I knew nothing about it, but they gave me a job anyway. I got twelve dollars a week. I carried a camera and held a slate. We loaded the film magazines and the still camera and carried all of the equipment to the set. My first job as an assistant was on Gloria Swanson's first dramatic film. When the company failed, I went over to Universal, and worked on some of their serials. After a year they let me become full photographer, on a one-reel Bert Roach comedy, then I did more comedies and more serials, while working alternately with von Stroheim on his big pictures.' [From 'Hollywood Cameramen' by Charles Higham, 1970.]

Worked for prod Samuel Goldwyn [1922-23], MGM [1924-43] - where he ph 20 films with Greta Garbo [*] - and Universal. Illness and a contract dispute kept him inactive during the mid-1940s.

Was a member and president [1961-63] of the ASC.

His brother Jack was a theatre and tv director.

Awards: 'Oscar' AA nom [1929/30] for 'Anna Christie'; 'Oscar' AA [1948; b&w] for 'The Naked City'; 'Oscar' AA nom [1958; color] for 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof'; 'Oscar' AA nom [1963; color; shared] for 'How the West Was Won'.



'From Death Valley with von Stroheim to Doll Valley with Jacqueline Susann - an obvious time-rhyme but in no way symbolic. William H. Daniels' checklist certainly has its share of dull patches, but the number of interesting and worthwhile subjects is well above the professional average. His career is bestrode by two directors - von Stroheim and Anthony Mann; and two players - Garbo and Sinatra. That the von Stroheim films are pictorially the most satisfying is unarguably thanks primarily to their director who, apart from the question of talent, held out tenaciously for marathon shooting schedules, thus allowing Daniels and Co. time to programme all the movement and clutter. His contribution to the Mann pictures seems more identifiable, as indicated by a comparison between 'Winchester '73' and another Mann Western made the same year, 'Devil's Doorway' [ph by John Alton, used frequently by Mann in the 40's]. Alton/Mann go in for shadows, extravagant angles, night-time imagery. With Daniels/Mann, it always seems to be high noon, the sun shining and everything plain, simple and very rugged; the actual night scenes in 'Winchester '73' hold no particularly sinister overtones. As to Garbo, Daniels himself has said he made no attempt at consistency in photographing her, filming each role according to its particular necessities. Reading between the lines, it's a good guess that she liked to work with Daniels less because of his technical excellence than because of his personal qualities of sympathy and tact. Whether these were also the qualities that recommended him to Frank Sinatra is an open question, but he certainly provided the sort of bright, glittery visuals appropriate for the star to move around in.' [Bob Baker in 'Film Dope' #9, April 1976.]

"Anna Karenina" [1935]

 

William H. Daniels gained considerable stature as a creative artist, even though he began his career by working well within the tradition of the Hollywood silents. In 1918, Daniels began working as cinematographer at Universal Studio, making serials and one-reel comedies. During the early 1920s he worked with Erich von Stroheim, whose obsession with detail is a Hollywood legend and who may very well have instilled in Daniels [although on a healthier scale] the eye for detail that was to become his own hallmark. The demands that von Stroheim made upon Daniels's lighting and photographic skills were tremendous, given the time: outdoor shots in Death Valley, shots taken deep in a gold mine [according to Daniels, in 132-degree heat] or a junk-man's cabin. Many of the shots over which Daniels took such great pains were cut out of the final version of 'Greed', but the discipline of shooting them left its mark on Daniels, who was about to face his greatest challenge - filming Greta Garbo.

Daniels achieved a major triumph in photographing Garbo in 'Flesh and the Devil'. This cinematographer elegantly tailored his style, which called for the heavy use of gauzes and filters, to capture the sophisticated beauty of Garbo. He often lit Garbo with sidelights in half-tone, creating a chiaroscuro effect in which one half of the actress's face is lit, the other in shadows. However, unlike the way Lee Garmes consistently lit Dietrich, Daniels varied his lighting - often showing great imagination by improvising effects that can only be called romantic, in the broadest sense. These effects often lend the subtlest detail, and Daniels felt that the invention of details was his contribution to the director's vision.

It is no surprise that of the sound films made by Garbo, the most significant were photographed by William Daniels. 'Queen Christina' is a masterpiece. This film includes one rare moment of pure cinema: the famous scene showing Garbo moving around the room in the inn where she first knew love. Daniels freely admitted that the realistic elements were added under the influence of von Stroheim - the sources of light placed so as to seem as if the fire were the only source of light. The cinematographer, however, failed to acknowledge that the lighting and filming have an expressive side, which transcends the actual. In this scene, Daniels achieves the goal of conveying the drama through light as the director does through speech and action. 'Ninotchka', for all its shallowness, is a flawlessly photographed and lit apotheosis of cinematic Art Nouveau. It is these films' magical mixture of Daniels and Garbo, of the actual and the glamorous, that represent the best of what is quintessentially Hollywood. It would be wrong to perceive Daniels merely as the best glamour director of the most glamorous of studios - MGM. He never lost touch with the deeper dramatic, psychological significance of a shot.

It is difficult after these films with Garbo to see Daniels's career as anything other than a decline. However, he did achieve some successes. He won the Academy Award for 'The Naked City', an acknowledgment of the realistic side of his talent. Nevertheless, a romantic mixture of life and daydreams remained his forte. 'Pat and Mike' is a sun-filled world of tennis courts and golf courses. Katharine Hepburn was never photographed in any other film better than she is in this 1952 romantic comedy. In 'Valley of the Dolls', mediocre as it is otherwise, the face of Barbara Parkins, especially in the scenes set in New England, calls forth something vaguely reminiscent of the old Daniels-Garbo magic. Daniels combined romanticism with realism; and, like all great portraitists, his ultimate achievement was only as good as the face and personality he rendered. [From article by Rodney Farnsworth on the filmreference.com website.]

William H. Daniels: 'I didn't create a 'Garbo face'. I just did portraits of her I would have done for any star. My lighting of her was determined by the requirements of a scene. I didn't, as some say I did, keep one side of the face light and the other dark. But I did always try to make the camera peer into the eyes, to see what was there. Garbo had natural long eyelashes and in certain moods I could throw the light down from quite high, and show the shadows of the eyelashes come down on the cheeks; it became a sort of trade mark with her. Her eyelashes were real; after I did that many stars got false ones and had their cameramen do the same lighting for them, but it wasn't quite the same thing.' [From 'Hollywood Cameramen' by Charles Higham, 1970.]
